IT'S NOT TOO LATE

MAMA SANG A SONG ‘BOUT A WRETCHED RICH MAN
WHO MADE TWITCHY MEN JUMP AT COMMAND
HE LIVED ABOVE THOSE SUFFERING IN THEIR PLIGHT
MONEY MADE HIM BETTER YES MONEY MADE HIM TIGHT
NEVER OFFERING UP THE DOLLAR OF SALE
UNTIL THE DAY HIS IDEALS BEGAN TO FAIL
SURE THAT THE DEVIL HAD MADE ROOM IN THE FIRES BELOW
HE SET OUT TO RECLAIM HIS SOILED OL’ SOUL
AND HE SAID-

OH DEAR GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE
WHAT A TALE OF MISERY I HAVE SPUN
I CAN GIVE UP THIS, GIVE AWAY THAT
GO TO BAT, PASS THE HAT
TIS NO SACROFICE TO UNSEAL MY FATE
PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT TOO LATE

MANY WERE ATAKEN BY THIS MAN OF CHANGE
AND OF AFFAIRS NOW REARRANGED
TO THOSE WHO OWED AND THOSE HE'D HATE-
PUT DOWN, BERATE OR HUMILIATE
HE TURNED TO THE OTHER CHEEK
AND HONORED FRIENDSHIPS HE DID REAP
SINGING-

OH DEAR GOD LOOK WHAT I'VE DONE
SPREAD THE WEALTH, JOINED THE FUN
I GAVE UP THIS, I GAVE AWAY THAT
WENT TO BAT, PASSED THE HAT
TIS NO SACROFICE TO UNSEAL MY FATE
PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT TOO LATE

THO THIS MAN SOON PASSED ON
HIS LEARNING OF GIVING HAS NEVER GONE
WHENEVER I WEAR MY WEALTH AS A CROWN
I HEAR MAMA SINGING HIS SONG
AND IT BRINGS ME BACK AROUND

OH DEAR GOD LOOK WHAT HE HAD DONE
SHARED HIS WEALTH, ENJOYED THE RUN
HE GAVE UP THIS, HE GAVE UP THAT
HE WENT TO BAT, HE PASSED THE HAT
TWAS A SACROFICE BIG AND SMALL
AND IN FACT
IT WASN’T A SACROFICE AT ALL

OH DEAR GOD LOOK WHAT HE HAD DONE
SHARED HIS WEALTH, ENJOYED THE RUN
HE GAVE UP THIS, HE GAVE UP THAT
HE WENT TO BAT, HE PASSED THE HAT
TIS NO SACROFICE TO UNSEAL MY FATE
PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT TOO LATE

PLEASE TELL ME IT’S NOT TOO LATE
